You can see ...

Might want to note there is NSFW language in the videos. People drop four letter words throughout the entire video disparaging LEOs. If you have your volume on & there are kids or co-workers around it might be embarrassing.

People are idiots, claiming it was over a $2 fare. No, thats what the thugs shoot people over, but you won't hear those same people protesting about that, no one hears, sees or knows anything at that point. Makes me sick.

Now just imagine that same scene if you or another law abiding citizen were involved in a justifiable use of force situation.

Point well taken.. The biggest problem here was that there was no gun or weapon visible on or around the BG and none of the people in the crowd saw him firing on police. On the other hand, I'm not likely to be chasing some guy down in a gun fight. If he is running from me, that is probably good enough.

started back in the mid 1980's that witness began 'cleaning up' the scene b4 the police could get there, get control. the witness would also lie....small and obvious--did not matter. what mattered was they were messing with 'the man'--f'n with the system

though often the dude who was down
the one they were 'protecting'

was the same one who broke their mothers hip months back stealing her rent money.

they defecate where they eat and demand we fix their problems.
.....tired of it yet?

I've seen several different versions of videos from some of the onlookers in the crowd. The supporting officers showed great restraint in not gassing the encroaching masses - although it's unfortunate that they were not able to secure the perp's weapon while this was happening.

This video really shows the level of idiocy that can come from a crowd mentality sometimes.

Check YouTube for alternate versions of this scene - the silver gun is about 30 feet in front of the bleeding perp...until a bystander tried to walk away with it.

"Historical examination of the right to bear arms, from English antecedents to the drafting of the Second Amendment, bears proof that the right to bear arms has consistently been, and should still be, construed as an individual right." -- U.S. District Judge Sam Cummings, Re: U.S. vs Emerson (1999)

This is a disturbing video as it reminds of me of my times working for the San Francisco Houston Authority twenty years ago. Mobs like this would happen when we made arrests. What is amazing is that this thug was wanted for questioning for a Seattle murder of a teen girl.

Sure enough... I didn't watch the second video until you mentioned it. It was hard enough to stomach the first one.

If you think that is disturbing,imagine that situation even without the mob and the perp on the ground is somebody you shot in self defense.That is why people say shut up til you talk to a lawyer,in the heat of the moment you may say something that some DA may try to turn into a court case for voluntary manslaughter,or second degree murder.
